Update: Police have reportedly detained a total of three suspects for questioning in their ongoing investigation into the shooting.

Days after two Ferguson, Mo., police officers were shot during an anti-police protest, two Los Angeles officers were shot Sunday evening. According to KABC, the shooting occurred around 5:45 p.m. and resulted in an active investigation and manhunt for what police believe could be two suspects.

Authorities were able to detain one individual at the scene, reports indicate, and questioned the subject shortly thereafter. As of the latest reports available, two men wanted for questioning remain at large.

“We are asking the public to shelter in place and to call 9-1-1 if there is any unusual activity in their yards or in their neighborhood,” she said.

While Thursday’s shooting in Ferguson resulted in an arrest and subsequent confession, suspect Jeffrey Williams denied he had targeted police officers when firing the shots. Instead, he claimed a disagreement with other protesters led him to shoot into the crowd, unintentionally striking the two cops.

Due to the fact that Williams was reportedly an active participant in an anti-police rally, his excuse struck many as unlikely. Similarly, efforts to uncover the motive behind the Los Angeles shooting are similarly inconclusive.

As it stands, investigators say they have no proof the officers – who were conducting a plainclothes operation in an unmarked cruiser at the time of the shooting – were specifically targeted.

The officers reportedly received minor injuries and were treated at the scene.
